The best place to start with troubleshooting is to check the
[Vector logs][docs.monitoring_logs]. This is typically located at
`/var/log/vector.log`, then proceed to follow the
[Troubleshooting Guide][docs.troubleshooting].

If the [Troubleshooting Guide][docs.troubleshooting] does not resolve your
issue, please:

1. Check for any [open `<%= component.id %>` issues][url.<%= component.id %>_issues].
2. If encountered a bug, please [file a bug report][url.new_<%= component.id %>_bug].
3. If encountered a missing feature, please [file a feature request][url.new_<%= component.id %>_enhancement].
4. If you need help, [join our chat/forum community][url.vector_chat]. You can post a question and search previous questions.
